Action Items and Next Steps The report covers a lot of moving parts. New Brighton is no stranger to reorganizing and the City will always look for efficiencies while protecting the effectiveness of our key services. Action items need to bring this reorganization plan to fruition are as follows: • Adopt a revised organizational chart via resolution effectively authorizing Manager Lotter to reorganize the Public Works and Community Development Departments and create the Department of Community Assets and Development, • Approve a severance package for the current Public Works and Community Development Directors, • , Reallocate $116,500.00 in savings from the reorganization to offset costs of insurance on existing staff, • Reduce the 2015 budget levy amount by '$50,713. At the time of the November 25, 2014 Council worksession, it is the City Manager's intention to have all of these items ready for Council action. Council has typically wanted to hold off on taking any action on worksession items until they can be scheduled at a business meeting two weeks after the worksession discussion. Due to constraints created by one fiscal year ending and ocher beginning, insurance enrollment deadlines approaching, final budget presentation on December 2nd and final budget adoption scheduled for December 9 "' and the interrelated nature of all of these moving parts; the City Manager strongly recommends approving all of above highlighted decisions. 5
